EP40112 Solvent free Epoxy ballast tank anti corrosion
Product Features
1、Environmental & safety characteristics (Core advantages): Extremely low VOC with nearly zero volatile solvents; low odor, making it ideal for operations in enclosed compartments; significantly reduced fire and explosion hazards; minimal hazardous waste generation.
2、Anti-corrosion & chemical resistance properties (Suitable for severe ballast tank service conditions): Superior resistance to seawater and alternating dry-wet immersion; excellent cathodic disbondment resistance; resistant to salt, oil contamination and sludge corrosion inside tanks; stable performance under temperature variations.
3、Physical and mechanical properties (High-build & high-strength): High-solids thixotropic formulation enabling extremely high dry film thickness per single coat; excellent adhesion, toughness and impact resistance; ultra-low film porosity for enhanced barrier anti-corrosion performance; superior abrasion resistance against sediment friction inside tanks.
Recommended Use
1、Top choice for new ocean-going export vessels, specially designed for seawater ballast tanks and double-side void tanks of bulk carriers, oil tankers and container ships.
2、Confined and narrow compartments with poor ventilation, such as sea chests, pump rooms, seawater settling tanks and narrow side tanks.
3、Enclosed seawater storage tanks for FPSO and offshore platforms.
4、Newly built non-potable fresh water tanks and sewage tanks.
5、Shipyards under strict environmental control and green ship projects.
6、Projects requiring single-coat high-build application to reduce coating passes.

Application
Construction method：
Airless spraying
Nozzle pressure: 14MPa-21MPa
Nozzle hole diameter: 0.6mm-0.8mm
Continuous spray application is required. Equipment and pipelines must be cleaned promptly after each spraying stage to prevent blockage caused by curing residual coating.
Surface treatment and construction conditions：
Remove oil, grease and other contaminants with a suitable cleaning agent.
High-pressure water cleaning removes salt, detergents and other contaminants.
Maintenance surface prep P3 (ISO 8501-3).
Remove dust, sand and loose materials.
Surface condition (G) (ISO 8503-2).
The substrate surface temperature shall be above 10°C (50°F) during application and curing.
To avoid condensation, the substrate temperature shall be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above the dew point during coating application.
The product temperature shall be maintained above 15°C (59°F) during application.
The relative humidity shall be kept below 85% throughout application and curing.
